A towing company removing a car blocking a business garage Tuesday hauled away more than just a vehicle.

Half an hour after the car was towed from the 2100 block of Broadway, the owners called Excalibur Recovery to let them know their 9-month-old daughter was inside.

The girl was in the car at an impound lot at 3900 Wynkoop St. in Denver.

Paramedics checked the girl and said she was fine, Denver Police Department spokesman John White said.

An employee for Excalibur Recovery, who refused to identify himself, said employees immediately called police.

“We look in the car, but when there’s a baby in a car seat covered in blankets, you can’t see it. And when the car’s been sitting there for an hour, you don’t assume there’s a baby in the car,” the man said. “That’s child abuse.”

The child was returned by police officers to the parents, White said.

He also said officers will investigate to determine whether any charges need to be filed.
